Her music is the standard de facto club dance crap that is single-handedly dumbing down the earth's populace... I have no doubt if she keeps her current pace up she be as big as Madonna, MJ, and that's says more about todays casual music listener's IQ than it does about her level of ability.
Can't believe I read in this thread that Lada Gaga is actually moving electronica forward. Really?

Um, There will never be a genre that just becomes Pop simply over night. You need to have acts like Lady Gaga to sort of make the basics of Electronica accepted. If it weren't for Lady Gaga, I can garuntee David Guetta would still be a virtual unknown here and he's a very respected House dj so his success is obviously a start. Samething with that Tik Tok song. It has tons of electro influence (listen to the verse) and if it weren't for Lady Gaga and Timbaland (his work with JT specifically) it would not be the hit it is today.
As we move along I can garutnee more and more Electronic music becomes mainstream (whether you like that or not is up to you). Its been popular in Europe since it was created and now North America is starting to catch up.
Electronica is clearly becoming more mainstream
